Pat Gilroy Names First Championship Starting 15

Dublin Senior Hurling Boss Pat Gilroy has chosen a good mix to start the Leinster Campaign

Dublin v Kilkenny Sunday, May 13th. 2:00pm Parnell Park, Dublin.

Pat Gilroy has selected the staring 15 that will face Kilkenny this Sunday afternoon in Parnell Park in Dublin’s first Leinster Championship fixture.

Dublin face a huge task this weekend but will see their home soil as an advantage.

Gilroy has named a nice mix of youth and experience.

Bill O’Carroll and Paddy Smyth get the very first senior championship experience, while Jake Malone, Fergal Whitely and Rian McBride, who all featured off the bench last summer, get their first starts.

This will be Dublin’s first game in the new Leinster Championship Round format and they will play Wexford, Offaly and Galway between now and mid June before the Leinster Final is determined.
